Hi, and welcome to Laurie Jean & Rose. My name is Lauren, and I have been photographing newborns since 2010 in the NW Atlanta area and all over! My love affair with newborn photography began shortly after the birth of my youngest son, when I missed the window for my son’s sleepy newborn photos due to my photographer canceling on me at the last minute. Unfortunately I didn’t get any sleepy posed shots of him, but so began my interest and love for newborn photography.

I am completely self-taught, and have photographed over 1,000 newborns over the last near decade. My goal is that you find our session an enjoyable experience, are completely relaxed, and love your newborn photos for many years to come. I prefer to focus on timeless images with simple props vs. the latest gimmick. 80’s clothes and hair, anyone? Okay, that era was actually pretty awesome, but let’s keep the baby photos fresh.

Hope to hear from you!

xoxo Lauren

Samuel Sneak Peek {Buckhead, Marietta, Atlanta Newborn Photography}

What’s better than one mommy? TWO mommies! Samuel is SO loved by both of his moms. He was super adorable, and at 12 days old, he was actually very cooperative for his newborn session. But he didn’t like to uncurl his fingers, which is fairly evident in the photo of him with his moms. How cute is that? Is he flipping me off in that pic, or what? ;) He’s like, “Who is this woman handling me in my birthday suit?” I actually have some shots similar to that with his fingers in “perfect” position, but I really liked the way his moms looked in that photo best, and I didn’t noticed until I went to edit it that he was making his thoughts on being photographed naked known! I thought it was pretty cute and funny :)

All jokes aside, I just love Samuel’s beautiful skin color and how he looks on that green. So handsome. He was a fairly big boy at over 8 pounds…just how I like them! The chunkier, the better! He was a hungry little guy, though, and we did have to take quite a few feeding breaks, but I believe that was mostly due to his age and the fact that he was a 40-weeker. It seems that time babies hit 11-12 days, there’s this change that takes place and they go through a period of a week or more where all they want to do is eat constantly, making posing a bit more tricky.

So enjoyed meeting little Samuel and his awesome moms, and I hope I get to see him again soon!
